There is one reason to include face remapping into the next release.
This would allow to get rid of all face variables that were introduced
after the previous release only for the sake of making face variables
buffer-local (i.e. face variables that were added with the same name
as face names).  With buffer-local faces such face variables are
useless, so it's better to remove them before the next release.
